Ok, this is the prob. 96 My 2.0 Eco is Abbott modified so puts out about 65 hp/50lbft over standard.
Drives great - usually. But if I floor it in 2nd or above, all that happens is the revs rise to 2,500, then spin wildly around to red line. Travel on the pedal seems a bit light in that it bites very close to top.
Changed master hose following recent mishap where clutch pedal suddenly went to the floor.
I'm assuming it's not the gearbox, because as long as I don't floor it then eventually the revs will gently roll up past 2,5000 smoothly to max, & there's no nasty whining or other audible signs of gearbox failure nor any difficulty in changing gears. But anything over part open throttle sends the rpm spinning round and this is a wee bit irritating, 'cos unless I baby it then the revs just spin and I get nowhere fast. Also makes overtaking bl**dy dangerous.
Have I cooked the clutch I've not had this happen to me before. If so, how much to fix ?
Any help gratefuly received as I've a trip home to Scotland again on 9th Sept, so need to fix it before then {edited for cr*p spelling}
